I have probably a dozen servers which have ssh on it.  Although I have passwordless authentication working on many of them, I cannot get it working on one of my main servers.  

I would love to get this working.  In fact, I am setting up SVN over ssh and I would really love to get rid of the passwords.  But there are some systems where I can just not get passwordless authentication over ssh working.  

This particular system is in use and I cannot, for example, arbitrarily reboot it.  But short of that, I am willing to provide any troubleshooting assistence to anyone who thinks they can get to the bottom of this.

Interestingly enough, between my system and this server, I can get it working in one direction (from server to my system), but not the other (from my system to server -- which is the way I really need it).  Go figure.
